Healthy paws saved my pupper
I thought I was going to lose my best friend. My Dogo Argentino coco - that I rescued from a pound as a puppy 8 years ago - wasn't able to stand. It happened almost immediately. Something was wrong. We brought her to the ER - where she would spend the next 5 days - trying to figure out what's happening and how to treat it. It was an auto immune disease. Her body started literally attacking herself for the inside out - and she was at risk of internal bleeding that couldn't be stopped if it happened. We thought we were going to lose her. The vet gave us a quote on day one saying this might cost $5000. I didn't even let her finish her sentence as i told her I don't care. It's because I didn't - we had gotten healthy paws pet insurance 2 years ago - and knew they would cover us. They already covered her her ACL surgery the year before without a single question.
Cocos home now and is going to have a long recovery - but I didn't have to worry if we could afford to keep my dog alive because of money - never even needed to cross my mind
